When I first got the engine in

Removed the crank and main caps, went through found almost 0 wear on anything, a perfectly fine 3970010 2 bolt block, just gave it a hone!

It was done and it’s been sold for a few weeks now! I hope it gets a good use.

A little more progress, it’s just a drip feed for now..

Water pumps on and such… still need to get the pistons on the rods, and all the rings gapped, check the rod bearing to crank journal clearence… after that the bottom end will be done! Then it can be buttoned up!

More work with this ol’ small block Chevy, I genuinely love these engines, fun to work on with a huge aftermarket, my favorite engine followed by the big block Chevy.
